Selling vintage by the flower side

Prepping and packing up for my big debut at Relles Florist.
Now to get this out of the house , and into the car.

 To pile or not to pile. Luckily I had my man muscles to help me load an unload.
We had to be quick because he had to be at his own Second Saturday shindig in a matter of moments.
 How did I end up with all of this? Its not only about the clothes. Atmosphere and personal flair needs to be added to my little pop up shop.
 We're here!
 My cozy corner.
 Just a few moments after set up, I had my first customer.
I was so excited and nervous as she was shopping .
I felt like this was a first date.
 SOLD! She loved it immediately. Moments later she came running back with dollars in her hand, and the dress on. She told me she is going to wear her newly purchased Equine Bovine dress all night.
 Can I please tell you that this is perfect place to be on Second Saturday?
 Sara, my sister, my friend forever. She might make cracks at my Laura Ingalls dresses, or my funky Friday night attire and add  "what the hell are you wearing".  But this girl, has my back. She supports me to no end and secretly wants to wear one of my prairie dresses.

 My sweet Lisa. I met her at Magpie last year. Every Saturday, she brings me the Wall Street Journal fashion section. As she sits at the bar , sipping her coffee we swoon over the newly crafted clothing being shown. This girl has a eye for great beauty, as she is a beauty herself!

 Bella browsing to see what will strike her fancy. Next to her was a troubled customers. She didnt know which one to buy, because she loved them both! I gave her a great deal and she walked away with two new gifts for her niece.
 She scooped up a super cute green mini skirt.
Hey Cowgirl! 
 I love this belt buckle. It was one of my faves for a long time. Time to pass it on .
 Belts, bags and skulls. 
Check out my boot fringes! Hand made by my friend Sadie Deluxe.
On a side note, Joe and I are planning a road trip at the end of this summer.
Of course I am already planning on what to wear. These boot fringes will be around my ankles each time time I put on my boots to roam the desert of Arizona, or stroll along a stream in Montana.
 Queen of the night. Alicia coordinated this very successful  event.
 A gift and a kiss from Equine Bovine.

Forever thankyou to all that offered me deep love and support.

Second Saturday at Relles Florist

Tonight you will enter upon a diverse group of amazing artists , musicians and people like me at Relles Florist.
My first public launch of Equine Bovine vintage. It's a little random and funky, but hey, life is random and VERY funky!
I am learning so much already!
I just invested into a steamer, which seems to work out those wrinkles beautifully. As I am steaming out the creases of my garments and giving myself a facial , I realized how poorly I took care of my clothes. Cramming, piling and putting pressure on delicate fabrics is not the best idea. I found things I couldn't sell due to buttons missing, minor tears and zippers that need to be replaced. So, now I have a pile of potentially great sales that have to be put on hold. Also, keeping the clothes away from any spot in the house that my cat could be near. I love my dear 'ol Beanie, but de-fuzzing the f*ck out of dresses can really get tiresome.  I did order a rad stamp , got some tiny gold safety pins and durable white art paper to make price tags . Another learning lesson. Cut.that.paper.staight! This is something I am not capable of. So, next up, purchase some pre-made blank price tags. Also turns out my organic cotton twine I bought had wax on it, so it was super hard to tie.
I am also a little sad that I got rid of a bunch of my vintage clothes. See, if you know me, I have freak outs. Sell clothes, throw away everything, shave my head, run, yell and scream. I know it can all be replaced with even more treasures, but I kick myself sometimes. Like I said, learning those lessons!
I finally finished everything about 10 minutes ago. Its not much, but it will bloom into something beautiful. After Second Saturday , you will find Equine Bovine goods hanging up with Citizen Rosebud at The Thinkhouse Collective.
So wish me luck friends. I defiantly will be enjoying a cocktail before the Second Saturday social hour.


100% of my proceeds will go to www.jears.org

BTW. I just had flowers delivered to Ed and Janel from Relles. I was able to pick out the beautiful bouquet online at 10 p.m., and have it deivered the next day. Their service was very friendly and prompt.
I will definatley have them be my 'flower people' now .
Oh, why were Ed and Janel receiving flowers?
To welcome this cute little meatball into our lives.
